Issues in the Development of Community Cooperative Networks
Community networks can benefit the government by providing the training necessary for citizens to access government information electronically. Local experts can assist the general public in accessing information and services through the convenience of e-mail. These government services most important for a given community can be tailored through customized on-line menus for enhanced ease of access by the public. A community network can potentially provide a single point of access for local, state and national government services, accessible with the help of friendly local on-line public servants.
